The 1959-60 Eagle Is Dedicated To Mrs. Ruth Dowling In Recognition Ot Her Etiorts In Promoting Academic Spirit At BHS BRENTWOOD HIGH SCHOOL, like all other schools, would be as nothing if it were not for the guidance and inspiration instilled in its stu- dents by the faculty members. Although many students may not appreciate what they receive at the time, many years from now, when much has been forgotten, the memory will live on of those teachers who inspired in us the desire and the ability to learn and profit from all of life. Such a teacher is Mrs. Ruth Dowling. In the three yearsthat she has been at BHS, im- provements have appeared' everywhere in the areas of journalism and senior English, in which she teaches. Under her leadership the EAGLET has become larger and of better quality, and many innovations and improvements have ap- peared in the yearbook. Yet, perhaps far more important than these material results, has been her ability to stimulate and enhance the originality and creativity of her students. For her inspiring guidance, those stu- dents who worked so hard on book reports in English IV, those who determinedly translated complicated sentences in French, and those who devoted hours and hours every week to the pub- lication of the EAGLET and EAGLE, will be for- ever grateful. In recognition of her fine contribution to the academic spirit of BHS, the yearbook staff respectfully dedicates this 1960 EAGLE to Mrs. Ruth Dowling.
